Fixin 'Champ Perdrix' 2022 is a beautifully expressive Pinot Noir from one of Fixin’s most highly regarded lieux-dits, crafted by a domaine renowned for elevating the appellation’s reputation. The 2022 vintage opens with inviting aromas of black cherry, raspberry, violet, and warm spice, underscored by subtle notes of forest floor and crushed stone. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and finely structured, balancing ripe red and dark berry fruit with fresh acidity, silky tannins, and a distinctive mineral edge. While Fixin is often known for its rustic power, Bruno Clair’s interpretation brings remarkable elegance and precision, resulting in a wine that is both approachable in its youth and capable of rewarding further cellaring.

Right, let’s get one thing straight. Fixin usually gets treated like Burgundy’s ugly stepchild. Everyone’s salivating over Gevrey-Chambertin next door, while Fixin is left out in the cold. But this? This is the 2022 Champ Perdrix from Bruno Clair, and it is a wake-up call to anyone sleeping on this village.
​First of all, look at the color. It’s a gorgeous, vibrant ruby. It’s alive. It’s not some over-extracted, muddy mess that looks like it came out of a drainage pipe.
Ant the tasting notes, the acidity is razor-sharp. It drives right through the mid-palate, completely cutting through the density of the fruit. The tannins? They’re firm, they’ve got real grip, but they are silky. They aren't drying your mouth out like you just chewed on a handful of sand. The balance here for a 2022—a vintage that was incredibly warm—is mind-blowing. Bruno Clair has captured gorgeous, ripe fruit without losing one single ounce of freshness. It’s focused. It’s energetic. It’s got discipline!
​The finish just goes on and on. It’s crunchy, it’s savory, and it’s beautifully complex. A must buy.
